Tim Allen’s documented car collection spans American classics, muscle cars, custom builds, European sports cars and modern performance cars. Public tours from 2013 and 2021 reveal many standouts, but they do not establish a verified current roster of 15 cars—or confirm that Allen still owns every vehicle shown.
What cars are in Tim Allen’s collection?
The best-documented public snapshots come from a 2013 GQ garage tour and a 2021 Petersen Automotive Museum tour reported by Motor Authority. They show a varied collection rather than a single-theme garage. Allen described it to GQ as “kind of an eclectic collection.” GQ’s July 23, 2013 tour and Motor Authority’s May 2, 2021 report document examples from different points in time.
Motor Authority calls the cars in its 2021 report highlights, not a complete inventory. The article’s “15” should therefore be read as a tour framing, not a source-verified total or proof that all named cars remain in Allen’s possession.
American classics, muscle cars and customs
The 2013 GQ video features a 1965 Shelby Cobra S/C with a 289 engine and Weber carburetors, a 1950 Cadillac Series 60, and a 1933 Ford Roadster built on the Home Improvement set. The tour also includes a 409-powered Chevrolet and a custom “Transformer car.”
#1 Best Overall
Motor Authority’s later selection adds a 1972 Ford Bronco, a 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS, a 1968 Camaro restomod, a modified Nova, and Mustang GT350s from different eras. These examples point to Allen’s interest in American performance cars, including both historically styled vehicles and heavily reworked builds.
European sports cars and other standouts
The tours also document a Jaguar E-Type, a Volvo P1800, a Ferrari 330 GTC, early Porsches, and a Porsche Carrera GT. The 2013 GQ video includes the Carrera GT; Motor Authority’s 2021 account says Allen sold it to get a Ford GT because he considered the Porsche dangerous. That is the report’s account of the transaction, not confirmation of the cars’ present-day ownership.
Rank #2
- Used Book in Good Condition
Modern performance and electric cars
The 2021 Petersen tour report names a Ford RS200, a Ford GT, and a Tesla Model 3 alongside the older cars. The mix makes clear that the collection is not limited to pre-war or vintage American vehicles.
Does Tim Allen own a Ford GT?
A 2017 Ford GT was documented as Allen’s in Ford Muscle’s March 8, 2018 coverage. The report describes the car in Ingot Silver with gloss-black carbon-fiber accents, 20-inch carbon-fiber wheels, and blue Brembo brake calipers. Allen characterized it as “a race car for the street more than anything I have ever driven.” Ford Muscle’s report documents that specific car and its appearance; it does not establish current ownership.

How many cars does Tim Allen own?
There is no verified current total in these sources. In a January 31, 2018 interview, Car and Driver asked Allen how many cars he owned; he replied, “More than I need.” That is a personal remark, not a numerical count. Car and Driver’s interview does not provide an exact figure.

The clearest through-line is variety combined with a taste for performance and customization. Some cars are recognizable classics, while others reflect personal modifications or newer engineering. Two documented examples illustrate the difference without implying that one is more valuable or faster than the rest.
A Ford GT with distinctive factory-era details
Ford Muscle’s description of the 2017 GT calls out its silver paint, carbon-fiber trim and wheels, and blue brake calipers. Allen’s “race car for the street” comment captures how he viewed the car, rather than serving as a measured comparison with the rest of the garage.
A substantially modified Impala SS
Motor Trend’s 1997 test covered Allen’s custom Impala SS powered by a Corvette ZR-1 engine. The magazine recorded 446 horsepower, 0–60 mph in 4.9 seconds, and a quarter mile in 13.4 seconds at 109.9 mph. Those are Motor Trend test figures for that modified car—not specifications for a standard production Impala SS. Motor Trend’s feature is the source for the historical test figures.
